WICKED - today is H.P. Baxxter's birthday!
For those of you who don't know, HP Baxxter is the frontman to everyone's favourite German Techno act, Scooter. Baxxter came to the UK to study mechanics, after having a brief stint in Hanover studying law and accounting. He also achieved an apprenticeship in carpentry, much like a certain Mr. Jesus Christ did all those years ago, but where Jesus went on to be the son of God and all that, Baxxter went on to attend a whole bunch of British raves and decided his future was in rave music.
Under his watchful eye, Scooter went on to become Germany's most successful music act, acquiring over 30 top 10 hits in Germany alone. The band also caused a stir in 2017 when playing in Crimea during Russian control, for which the punishment considered by the Ukrainian government was to be eight years in prison. Baxxter also divorced his wife the same day as the band's biggest ever open-air act, The Stadium Techno Inferno, in 2011.
Baxxter has appeared on multiple German adverts and television shows, including jury work on X Factor and Eurovision, and was the German representative for the International Hockey World Championship in 2010, and was also a contestant on Celebrity Darts World Cup in 2018.
And you thought The Logical Song was his only claim to fame, aye?
